My
son was diagnosed with Homocystinuria at the age of 2 . He has been on
low-protein diet since that time. Over the past 16 years (he is 18 now), I have
been making many mouth-watering recipes for him. I have summarized many
successful and sumptuous recipes in this website. I have tried to use food
products available readily so the thought of preparing a low protein meal is not
daunting anymore. This is just a taste of what is in store for future.

January 19, 2002: Cooking workshop conducted for the first time.
Tried out some recipes from the web site and some new recipes which will be
added to the website. 35 people participated and had hands-on experience in
working with the recipes. More workshops to come in March and probably May.

February 6, 2002: A few more additions after the workshop. Due to
unavoidable circumstances not able to update for a long time after July, 2000.
Hopefully I should update quite often from now on.

January
3, 2004: After various computer glitches and crashes, finally had
to change the COMPUTER ITSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May be now good fortune will
miraculously keep my computer crash-free and
trouble-free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????? Yeah! Right!!!! Anyway, here are
more recipes and hopefully the update will be quite consistent from now on!!
Gulp!!!

While
this website helps one in preparing low-protein dishes , I have not discussed
the amount of protein a person can have each day. This information should be
obtained from a physician or a dietician. However, each recipe gives the
nutrient contents( based on USDA Nutrient Database SR16 and Bowes and
Church’s Food Values of Portions Commonly Used by Jean A. T.
Pennington; and from companies that manufacture various low-protein products).
